Large high resolution graphics for signs

Looking for a good source for high resolution high DPI large image size background for 4x8 signs.
For instance needing a very high resolution image to use as a background that is a galaxy design.

I have some 96 dpi files that are around 3840x2160 and a couple 96dpi at 6144x4608 but doesn't really look that well when printed.

any input.
Thanks

Use vector graphics so you don't need to worry about resolution. I did a quick search at vectorstock and there are many beautiful vectors of galaxies. If it HAS to be nice and crisp when viewed up close, use vector if possible.

I use Depositphotos.com for a lot of stock images and vectors. I just did a search and there are galaxy JPG images as large as 7000 x 4000 pixels. a 96" x 48" image at 72dpi (standard dpi for large format), is 6912 x 3456 pixels. If vectors aren't an option and you must use bitmap images, try to find ones with at least 6912 x 3456 pixels.

Milky Way Galactic Center from NASA's website

I agree with BlueMoonATL: check out NASA's website. I made this file 29.75" x 9" @ 600ppi, scaled it up 400% in Caldera Visual+, and it looks great.
